🌱 Care Tips:

Light:
Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain healthy foliage and strong growth. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves.

Water:
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist but avoid overwatering, as begonias prefer well-drained conditions.

Humidity:
Enjoys moderate to higher humidity. Avoid misting directly on the leaves to prevent spotting.

Temperature:
Thrives in temperatures between 18°C to 26°C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.

Soil:
Use a light, well-draining potting mix. A blend with perlite and organic matter helps keep the roots healthy.

Fertiliser:
Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertiliser.

Growth Habit:
An upright growing begonia that forms elegant stems with decorative foliage.

Pet Friendly:
